Good grief, why would anyone fake fireworks? I thought China invented fireworks...right? I bet their mountaineers didn't really summit Everest either.
Actually, the kid marching with Yao Ming... you know, the kid that had the the Chinese flag that was attached UPSIDE DOWN to the stick while marching for his country in front of the whole stinkin' world speaks volumes about Chinese quality. You'd think for such a showcase event that they'd do a little more QC.
